Seems the answer is: nope? (This is such poor judgement on their part. Astoundingly, mind-bogglingly, hypocritically so...I just do not understand.) https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/06/08/united-nations-staff-george-floyd-protests/ …https://twitter.com/RChandran1/status/1270337579225886720 …

Yes but in fairness none of the
@UN’s current ASGs boast what Bunche had in ‘65: a personal Nobel Peace Prize (15 yrs previously); the US Presidential Medal of Freedom (‘63); solid US support for the UN.
Completely true. I'm being a wee bit unfair. And I realize that I'm definitely not giving enough credit to the wider UN.

That’s from group of independent Special Rapporteurs, with mandates from the Human Rights Council, rather than from
@UNHumanRights itself. In some ways that makes it stronger: SRs have intergovernmental mandates. Yet@mbachelet has herself been forceful: https://twitter.com/mbachelet/status/1267790020687077376?s=21 …https://twitter.com/mbachelet/status/1267790020687077376 … -
Fair point; admittedly I'm always a bit fuzzy on some of these distinctions/Special Procedures more generally But I gotta hand it to them for promoting the heck out of that statement and to
